László Palkovics, Hungary’s minister of innovation and technology, had talks in Stuttgart with senior officials of Baden-Württemberg focusing on key areas of bilateral cooperation such as car making and further opportunities in research and development.
In a statement, the innovation and technology ministry said that Palkovics, who is co-leader of the Hungary-Baden-Württemberg mixed economic committee, met Wolfgang Reinhart, deputy speaker of Baden-Württemberg’s parliament, and Hans-Ulrich Rülke, group leader of the local chapter of the FDP party. Baden-Württemberg, among Germany’s provinces, is the second largest partner for Hungary in terms of trade turnover and the third largest investor in Hungary. In 2020 alone, 25 companies from Baden-Württemberg completed investment projects helping retain over 20,000 jobs in Hungary, the ministry’s statement said.
